[gmx-users] cpu detection in 3.2.1 double precision

[Milton Taidi Sonoda]

Hi David
Yes, it should be. I have gromacs 3.2.1 in double precision installed
on Athlon MP with Linux RH 9.0 and FreeBSD 5.2.
Although Athon does not support it, gromacs tries to
probe SSE2.

Now, on Opteron 242 I have Fedora 2, for 64 bits,
gromacs doesn't try to probe SSE2. At least
there is nothing in the log file that shows this.

I've installed fftw-2.1.5 and gromacs 3.2.1 from
source code. I've also tried single precision and
enabling/disabling mpi, but none tried to find SSE/SSE2.

Could the 64 bits system has something to do with this?
Maybe it has a different directory tree.
